About Us

Our Knowledgeable Team Are Ready To Help You

Phoenix Building Products was founded in 2009 by Duncan Cunningham, one of the UK’s leading experts in special shaped bricks and pre-fabricated brickwork.
Duncan was soon joined by Mark Higgs who has nearly 30 years’ experience in this specialist field. Since then the company has gone from strength to strength and now employs around 30 people at a purpose-built factory at Sheffield Park in the East Sussex countryside. Phoenix offer a wide range of products and services, including brick cutting, special shaped bricks and pre-fabricated brick arches and lintels, all backed up by our Technical and Operations teams. If you have a need for some “Clever Stuff with bricks” then give Phoenix a call.

With the drive and determination that is obviously apparent, who knows where the Phoenix will rise to next.
